Textbook Question
Chapter 34.6, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Develop a hypothesis to explain why the diversity of mammals increased in the Cenozoic. Your explanation should consider mammalian adaptations as well as factors such as mass extinctions and Continental drift (review Concept 25.4).

How old are the first recognizable mammals relative to the K/T boundary layer (i.e., extinction of the dinosaurs), and from what reptilian lineage did they evolve? Is this lineage the same reptilian lineage that gave rise to birds? How are these lineages distinguished? Hold old are the first fossil birds? What other plant/animal lineages first became widespread in the Tertiary that were less common in the Cretaceous?..
Explain at least one reasonable hypothesis about what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs at theK–T extinction (abbreviation of Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction) also called the K–Pg extinction or Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event about 66 million years ago.

- In Oct 2022, a chilling discovery was made in Vuvatu, a country known for its extensive volcanic landscapes. Scientists found the remains of a large organism that had no resemblance to any current form of life on Earth. The organism also had no resemblance to any fossils ever found, including the very few fossils ever recovered from Vuvatu (fossils are rarely ever found in Vuvatu since volcanic landscapes are generally not conducive of fossilization). The world buzzed with the possibility that this was a crash site for an extraterrestrial body. An extensive study of the uncovered remains was conducted by many research facilities. Their conclusions regarding the organism's features are listed below: 1. Physical features: The organism has a surprisingly soft and malleable exoskeleton that reflects ambient light, creating mesmerizing patterns. In fact, the remains highly suggest that most of its body parts are soft and blubbery rather than rigid. 2. Habitat: Given its relationship with…arrow_forwardⒸ Macmillan Learning There are many examples of species that were ancestral to or closely related to the ancestors of modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens.

- Discuss four (4) evidence-based reasons why it is being highly proposed that we are under the Anthropocene epocharrow_forwardThere have been five main mass extinctions. Match each mass extinction event to its description. 1. Permian extinction 2. Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction 3. Triassic extinction 4. Devonian extinction 5. Ordovician extinction a. This extinction was most likely due to a change in sea level. During this event, about 60% of all marine species were eliminated. b. This is the best-known mass extinction. It eliminated most large animals, including the dinosaurs. c. This was the most severe extinction event. About 96% of life on Earth died during this event. d. This extinction was most likely caused by climate change. About 80% of land animals died during this event. e. This extinction was most likely due to a change in sea level. It especially affected coral reefs.arrow_forwardWRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.arrow_forward
